Today, young chefs are pushing the envelope when it comes to creativity and uniqueness. What better way than to finesse a creative vegetarian dish incorporating plant-based meat and classic Chinese sauces? The competition featuring plant-based meat can bring the ingredient to the forefront and provide a platform for current and future talents of the industry to create an impact and revolutionize the way we eat.
THE FUTURE OF F&B INDUSTRY
